5 Minute Standing Meditation

Here’s a Sample of the “5 Minute Standing Meditation” Guided Meditation Script:

Standing meditation is one of the most powerful ways to get our minds to slow down.

Think of what our bodies are used to doing when we’re simply standing. We’re usually standing in line… looking at something… having an alert conversation.

We very rarely stand and do nothing.

Standing brings our bodies and minds into alertness. In this way, standing meditation is one of the quickest ways to bring ourselves into the present. It’s an excellent method to recharge our battery.

If you’ve never done standing meditation before, don’t do it for more than 5 minutes at a time. This can get longer once you become familiar with it.

Find a broomstick, a walking stick, a mop or something you can use to make sure you don’t lose your balance. The back of a chair will do in a pinch.

Hold the top of your broom/stick/chair. Place your feet hip width apart.

Look straight ahead. Close your eyes halfway, but not all the way.

Tune in to your breathing for a few moments.
Feel the lifting and falling of your belly.
Pay attention to your lower stomach.
